    Well, Cap, you fooled me once again. I thought there was no way that you could make yourself more ridiculous.

    bossy, Batman’s dance is the Batusi (like the Watusi), from the old Adam West TV show. In the premiere episode, Batman had traced the Riddler to the discotheque “What A Way to Go-Go”, where he ends up dancing with Riddler’s henchwoman Molly. His dance, which he calls the Batusi, catches on with all the kids at the disco. Batman also performed the Batusi in at least one later episode.

    In “Pulp Fiction” Vincent Vega and Mia Wallace do a modified Batusi for the dance contest at Jackrabbit Slim’s.

    “The Batusi is performed by making a horizontal V-sign with one’s index and middle fingers of both hands, and drawing them across in front of the eyes, one hand at a time, with the eyes roughly between the fingers.”

    (Thanx, Wikipedia)

    There’s also Prince’s “Batdance” from the Tim Burton movie, but (A) I don’t know if there were specific moves associated with the song, and (B) that’s obviously not what this strip is referring to.

    I remember the Batusi, and he drank some bat milk before he wen to the disco so that any alcohol would not affect him. It was one cool dance!
